The Shambles

I make a rod for my own back, if it is not Liverpuddle or Manchester Untidy I have to deny then it is the political denial (well at least that is traditional).

I say it often enough the only reason worth considering - as to my sartorial pecadillo - is that I am a poser. Though the freedom of choice so generaously proferred by by ex-wifes departure may be included in the calculation.

When I ponder the PEL and the riots that ensue from the screenings in UK pubs I have to call to question the integrity of the government. They are shit scared of football crowds to the point they ignore the best advice of the police that such rowdy and too often violent pub screenings of FOOTBALL should have been licenced, folk music has to be and they were never even clutter on the police radar.

It may only be a few miscreants but where are the miscreants in folk sessions?

Anyway if I was to wear a political colour it would be transparent - and you wouldn't want that now would you?
